12-5 Mathematical Induction and Infinite Geometric Series
In Lesson 12-4, you found partial sums of geometric series. You can also find the sums of some infinite geometric series. An infinite geometric series has infinitely many terms. Consider the two infinite geometric series below.
Holt Algebra 2
12-5 Mathematical Induction and Infinite Geometric Series
Notice that the series Sn has a common ratio of and the partial sums get closer and closer to 1 as n increases. When |r|< 1 and the partial sum approaches a fixed number, the series is said to converge. The number that the partial sums approach, as n increases, is called a limit.
Holt Algebra 2
12-5 Mathematical Induction and Infinite Geometric Series
For the series Rn, the opposite applies. Its common ratio is 2, and its partial sums increase toward infinity. When |r| ≥ 1 and the partial sum does not approach a fixed number, the series is said to diverge.

Example 1: Finding Convergent or Divergent Series
Determine whether each geometric series converges or diverges.
A. 10 + 1 + 0.1 + 0.01 + ... B. 4 + 12 + 36 + 108 + ...
The series converges and has a sum.
The series diverges anddoes not have a sum.

Graph the simplified equation on a graphing calculator. Notice that the sum levels out and converges to 1.
As n approaches infinity, the term approaches zero. Therefore, the sum of the series is 1. This concept can be generalized for all convergent geometric series and proved by using calculus.

You have used series to find the sums of many sets of numbers, such as the first 100 natural numbers. The formulas that you used for such sums can be proved by using a type of mathematical proof called mathematical induction.

Use mathematical induction to prove that the sum of the first n odd numbers is
1 + 3 + 5 + … +(2n - 1) = n2.
Step 1 Base case: Show that the statement is true for n = 1.
(2n – 1) = n2
2(1) – 1 = 12

Step 2 Assume that the statement is true for a natural number k.
1 + 3 + … (2k – 1) = k2
1 + 3 + … (2k – 1) + [2(k + 1) – 1]
Step 3 Prove that it is true for the natural number k + 1.
= k2 + [2(k + 1) – 1]
= (k + 1)2
= k2 + 2k + 1
Therefore, 1 + 3 + 5 + … + (2n – 1) = n2.

Identify a counterexample to disprove a3 > a2, where a is a whole number.
Example 5: Using Counterexamples
33 > 32 23 > 22 13 > 12 03 > 02
27 > 9 8 > 4 1 > 1 0 > 0
a3 > a2 is not true for a = 1, so it is not true for all whole numbers. 0 is another possible counterexample.
